Curse of the Elfs by Anna del C. Dye

With her vivid details and expressive language, Anna Del C Dye takes you on a journey you will never forget. Her lovable characters immediately pull you into their story and keep you on the edge of your seat, as you are pulled into their world of war from the get-go. Lathenyl and Katelynn’s love story tugs at your heartstrings and makes you yearn for more. Later in the book, that void being filled by their son, Lathenyl (Lath), and his love for Yasmeen.

The book begins with Lathenyl and Katelynn falling in love, even though Lathenyl is an elf and Katelynn is human. Katelynn becomes entranced by the elfin race and desires to live among them. But Lathenyl is fighting a war, alongside the humans, to spare both their races. Then, against all odds, Katelynn finds herself pregnant. Later on, a curse is on the elfs and they must find the one who can save them. Lath does not even know he is an elf. Is it possible he could be the one they have been waiting for? With Yasmeen’s help, Lath learns more about his own race and discovers not only a love for her but for the elfin people as well. Will Lath be able to save these people he has come to love?

I don’t normally read a lot of fantasy type novels, but Dye’s descriptions of the elfin people, their customs, and their home made me wish I could see into her world for myself. The story is a perfect blend of romance and war. And it is also very clean and not too graphic, which made the story even better! I would recommend it to anyone who loves to curl up with a good book.
